Dr Jaclyn Toh Ai Lin qualified with honours from the prestigious Dublin Dental School and Hospital of Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. She is a member of the Singapore Dental Association, the College of General Dental Practitioners Singapore and the Aesthetic Dentistry Society of Singapore.

Dr Toh brings an eye for detail and a gentle touch to her work. She encourages her patients to take responsibility for their oral health and helps them customise positive lifestyle choices. She is passionate about bringing the best of the latest research into clinical practice through continuing clinical education.

Dr Toh advocates minimally-invasive and biomimetic dentistry following the Style Italiano philosophy, based on her experiences as a clinician and also as a patient.

She is passionate about endodontics (treatment of the root canals and pulpal disease) as an important part of her general practice of maintaining natural teeth where possible.

Dr Toh is a certified Invisalign provider, and has a special interest in combining restorative cosmetic dentistry with orthodontics. She also practices interceptive orthodontics for children. Early identification and treatment prevents severe skeletal or dental problems from becoming permanent, and needing surgery to correct in adulthood.

In her spare time, Dr Toh enjoys an active lifestyle. She enjoys early morning gym sessions and regular ballet classes.

The experience I had with Dr. Jaclyn was an extremely pleasant one. Root Canal to me is a painful & complicating thought even to begin with but the treatment was explained very clearly so that helped me managed my expectations and my unnecessary worries.
There were 3 parts to...

My experience with Dr. Jaclyn was a smooth and painless journey. She constantly made sure to explain each procedure to me in depth. Dr. Jaclyn avoided causing any pain or discomfort during each session and was patient whenever I had to reschedule. Overall, I had a pleasant experience.

So far, I have had 5 dental sessions with Dr. Jaclyn Toh and they have all been painless. She's very professional and takes her work very seriously. She always knows what to do so I don't have to worry at all. Don't underestimate a female dentist!

I had a great experience with Dr Jaclyn when i had my filling done by her recently. Unbeknownst to me, I had a decay on my front tooth that was clearly visible in the X-rays that she took for me. She then told me that i needed to have a filling done and the reasons for it, which i r...

Dr. Toh is very patient and professional when explaining any dental treatments to me. I went through a crown treatment with her and I felt comfortable and confident leaving my dental health in her care.

Dear Z,
Usually wisdom teeth are not aligned during Invisalign unless the teeth are fully erupted an in function (you are using it to chew).
I do not routinely ask my patients to remove their wisdom teeth prior to Invisalign as we do not usually require the space that the wisd...

Dear Harn, You are quite young to be having a loose tooth! In someone of your age, I would suspect some background of injury (a blow or some kind of heavy impact) to that particular tooth. As for whether a loose tooth can be "fixed", it depends on why the tooth has become loosened in the first p...

Dear Regina, It depends on how severe the underbite is and the underlying cause. Underbites can be caused by: 1) Jaw size discrepancy If your lower jaw is too large in proportion to the upper jaw, or the reverse, then a skeletal underbite is the result. This results when the de...

Dear Sen Kang,
Uprighting your upper 2nd premolars can be achieved with Invisalign or fixed (traditional) braces. If your tooth is very short on the palatal (side facing inward), then it may be more efficient to upright the tooth using fixed braces since the Invisalign aligner wi...

Dear Jovina,
There are 4 methods to detect decay, and the best method depends on the exact location of the cavity and also the stage of decay. Essentially, large cavities are easier to detect but are more complicated to treat.
1) Visual
This is done by scanning your teeth s...

Dear Lim, Mouthguards do not cure bruxism but are used to try and limit the irreversible damage done to your teeth from the grinding. TMJ pain usually occurs on moving the jaw (opening or closing) and not necessarily on chewing. If you have issues with your TMJs, clicking, popping or cracking so...

Dear Z,
Having teeth (wisdom teeth or others) extracted usually DOES NOT cause your face shape or jawline to change.
The wisdom teeth are found in areas of dense bone deep in the back of the mouth. The soft tissue and skin covering these areas are rich in underlying subcutaneo...

Dear Z,
I would suggest having a prototype of the veneers made with the ideal shape, size and position of your front teeth so that you and your dentist can visualize the final aesthetic result of combining Invisalign and veneers.
At the prototype stage, tweaks to the veneers c...

Both metal and ceramic braces work in the same way. They differ in terms of cost (metal is cheaper), size (ceramic brackets tend to be bulkier) and appearance.
I have not found ceramic braces to stain in my patients. You may notice stain accumulating around the brackets, but th...

Dear superhero,
Baby teeth with no permanent successors can last for many years if there is sufficient root structure to support chewing.
I myself have 2 baby teeth that are healthy and no permanent successors for these teeth!
If you have been considering braces, then the s...
